NEWARK, N.J. — The mayor of New Jersey's largest city again came upon a life-or-death emergency, but the hero was someone else.

Newark Mayor Cory Booker tweets that he was one of several people who helped stabilize a pedestrian hit by a car Friday. A spokeswoman says an Essex County detective who arrived first on the scene called 911, wiped blood from the face of the victim, poured water on his wounds and helped him lie still.

Shoozoo, I am with you. As a rare NYC conservative, I think Booker is a solid guy, doing a solid job in a really tough place. If he has one weakness, it is that his polotical ambition caused him to walk back his (legitimate) critique of Obama's Bain comments...

I am glad that Booker made his critisms about Obama. I see to many candidates attacking everything they can to pull the other candidate through the mud. There are a lot hurt that are not supposed to be in the conversation. Does Obama realize the kind of picture that he is painting of American businesses. To the world, he is portraying that you should not do business with American CEOs, because they are corrupt.

I was thinking maybe Cory Booker should retrain and become a medical emergency specialist, as emergency seems to be his calling. However, the US political choice the 2012 vote brings to the voters is an emergency. Cory Booker was shoved to the side by the party who wants to destroy capitalism, shoving him from their midst. Looks to me like he still has an opportunity to enter the burning Dem building and save a few people, salvage the basic structure that makes a solid house a home. We need business investing in our communities and less government shaping our lives.
